TWW Buddies..

[cdn298]

Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@MrsL22 sounds like a really good approach. Stress can interfere with fertility so taking a bit of time to yourself this month will be really good for you!

Red blood is a really good sign too. I did a womb and fertility massage course and we learnt that fresh, red blood is what we should be looking for. It's all looking good for you! Let's hope that it's your month! 🤞

@MrsL22 I think that's a great approach to take, it can get a bit all consuming can't it?! The best time I ever had was with DC2 - didn't have any periods so had no expectations re timings for anything and ended up being around 8w when we found out...and that test was to 'rule out pregnancy' as the cause of my tiredness 😂

Fingers crossed to everyone who has yet to have a proper AF -there's still chance this month unless she's properly arrived! I had spotting with DC2, and my sister bled frequently throughout all of her pregnancies - just a day or two at a time, but normal otherwise!

Sounds like a really sensible approach @MrsL22 - I definitely need a few months of tracking with opks etc because of the procedure I had but if it hasn’t happened by then, I might take a leaf out of your book! For the moment, I’m just trying to eat well (if you ignore the chocolate which is necessary), taking my folic acid and vitamin d, and running as often as possible.

Any sign of your AF starting properly yet @Pitstop1986 ?

Sorry been taking a break from MN! I take the 7 seas tablets as they're smaller than pregnancare, although I took pregnacare with my DC1. No idea about my cycle length as I've had my coil removed in December. However used opks this month and AF arrived around 11-12 days after my LH surge so seems like my old 28 day cycles so far.

As predicted AF hasn't shown up today! Resisted the urge to test as could be from the illnesses.

Feeling a bit bloat

Well as expected AF hasn't turned up yet! Not overly excited as I expected it due to the illnesses and so far resisted the urge to test.

I have been feeling bloated on and off the last couple of days and had sore nips for a couple of days. My cervix felt high and soft earlier as well.

AF finally showed up properly this afternoon. Although lighter than my usual day 1 bleed, it's still there.

So technically today is CD1 for me. At least AF is here now!

Update - 12dpo today and bfn.
sooo gutted my body really played me this month!

@Pitstop1986 glad to hear AF has arrived and you don’t have to keep wondering.

Sorry about the BFN @Mrsrobinsonx

My body has decided to really throw me by suddenly welcoming AF late yesterday evening and then giving me possibly the heaviest flow I’ve ever had today! Honestly though, never been so pleased to feel so rubbish 😂

@Mrsrobinsonx sorry to hear you've got a BFN, hope there's some more solid answers soon!

@Downtherabbithole83 rubbish that has decided to appear with avengeance but glad you can move foward with the next cycle now! Baby dust for next month! ✨

@Downtherabbithole83 @DancingNancies
Thanks ladies, I just want AF to arrive now if I’m not pregnant. So confusing and the wait is the worst 🫣

@Mrsrobinsonx tell me about it! I'm crampy yet exhausted and still only getting the faintest lines on tests...think I'm going to go back to sainsburys tonight and get the ones I tested with a few days ago because the I'll at least have something to directly compare to and they don't appear to be getting darker at all (have used 2 different brands because i was in a different supermarket 😅). If it's chemical, then I've accepted that this month but then I'd like a period so we can go again please!

@DancingNancies with my chemical I started bleeding 5 days after my 1st faint positive test. Hope that helps x

I still have had no more signs of AF. Bfn again yesterday, I'll test again in a few days if no sign.
I tested positive with covid again today for the 4th time so I feel like complete crap about everything 😩

@Mrsrobinsonx I first tested Wednesday so fingers crossed for tomorrow! If I could get a BFN I'd actually be a little relieved rn instead of this weird limbo of not knowing!

Did another cheapy test tonight as supermarket were out of their more sensitive ones and im not wasting £10 on an almost certain negative 😅 - the line is still there, almost invisible but it exists...I'm also annoyingly hydrated atm and always wee in the middle of the night so getting a concentrated sample is incredibly difficult, so I don't know what my situation is but I wish my body would make it's bloody mind up! 🙄

@cdn298 so sorry to hear you've got covid again - 4 times is very unlucky! I hope you're not feeling too rubbish!

Evening all! How is everyone doing today?

I fell pregnant on pregnacare

Evening! AF has gone - again only 3 days and really quite light (more like 2 as day 3 purely spotting) - I’m worried this is a bad sign and I won’t be able to get pregnant again? I did fall pregnant in October but lost it early and wondering if uterine lining has anything to do with it 😢

How are you @Downtherabbithole83 ??

@Emmamoo89 thats good news! How long did it take?

I took it just one cycle. Also used soft cup and preseed. Definitely all helped. Left soft cup in for 12 hours

Softcup? Is that a menstrual cup? Or am I being thick?! 😂🙈
We use conceive plus, which I’m assuming does the same as preseed?
Honestly - I’m willing to try anything at this point so accepting all suggestions!

Yeah 🤣 I didn't like conceive plus. Didn't work for me. Preseed so much better. Feels nicer.

Thanks for the tip! Might have to get some as we plan on dtd every other day for a few weeks to see what happens 🙈

Evening all how is everyone doing? positive ovulation test today so REALLY hoping this month is our month!!
